Unless you’re Justin and Jessica Walker. It was August 2004. Jessica, then a Virginia Commonwealth University student, was waiting outside the campus gym, her ride home nowhere to be seen. Justin walked out and offered a ride and shelter from the increasing downpour. She recognized him from orientation (迎新会) a few days before — they’d just chatted briefly there.“I was like, OK, maybe he’s hitting on me,” Jessica later told WTVR. But it was raining buckets, so she accepted. Buckets turned to barrels (大圆桶) as Justin, new to Richmond, made a wrong turn onto Main Street, landing the two in the traffic jam caused by rising floodwaters and abandoned cars. Just when the two thought their luck couldn’t get worse, a wave washed over Justin’s car, flooding the engine and sending rainwater through the air vents (通气孔). Suddenly, the water was up to their laps and rising. It was time to move. Justin grabbed her door handle and rapidly opened Jessica’s door and pushed her out of the car. Battling rushing water, the two made it to the steps of a nearby train station. They spent the next few hours helping others to safety inside the station until Amtrak sent a train to carry the stranded (滞留人员) to higher ground. Shaking in wet clothes, sharing a tiny sandwich and a beer, Justin and Jessica’s connection crackled. “I’m one of those people who needs a sign, and I thought, if God isn’t giving me a sign right now, I’m a fool,” says Jessica.“And I knew: This is the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with.” If Justin hadn’t made a wrong turn, the two likely would have avoided the flood and may never have spoken again. Instead, four years later, Justin and Jessica were engaged.“I lost a car but gained a fiancee,” says Justin. 24. Why did Jessica accept Justin’s offer of a ride initially? A. She was deeply attracted to Justin. B. Justin insisted despite her refusal. C. She had no other way to escape the heavy rain. D. They were classmates working on a project together. 25. What directly caused Justin to abandon the car? A. A crash with another vehicle. B. The water rising to a critical level. C. Engine failure due to a wave flooding it. D. the car running out of gas in the traffic jam. 26. What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 3 imply about Justin and Jessica? A. They argued fiercely during the crisis. B. They discovered they had mutual friends. C. They began to develop romantic feelings. D. Their communication was interrupted by the storm. 27. What is the theme conveyed by the story of Justin and Jessica? A. Courage in emergencies lays the foundation for mutual trust. B. Life’s crucial moments may arise from unpredictable events. C. Shared hardship deepens emotional bonds between strangers. D. Natural disasters force individuals to face up to their weakness. C Cultural globalization helps businesses enter new markets. In order to profit from greater sales, however, it’s increasingly important for companies to be sensitive to the needs and feelings of consumers in different cultures. This isn’t always an easy thing. Brand and product names are a particular challenge that companies face when selling in the global market place. Generally, companies can follow simple guidelines when developing brand names that work across cultures. It’s important to choose a name that’s easy to read and pronounce in all of their target markets. Equally important is to make sure that the name doesn’t sound like a word with a negative meaning in the languages spoken in those markets. The name Kodak, for example, was chosen because it was easy to say and had no negative meanings. In contrast, although the Japanese sports drink Pocari Sweat is easy to say in English, its meaning is somewhat negative to people from English-speaking cultures. Besides following the commonsense guidelines, some companies use a strategy called “foreign branding.” The basic idea is to choose a name that sounds like it comes from a culture that customers feel positive about. For example, the British retail chain Currys sold products under the Matsui brand because that name sounded Japanese, and shoppers had a high opinion of electronic goods from Japan. Foreign branding doesn’t always work out. For instance, an American businesswoman created a fashion brand called Kimono. However, just six days later she announced an alternative name: Skims. Why? A kimono-her original choice — is a traditional item of Japanese clothing. People all criticized her for cultural appropriation: that is, for trying to profit from something important to another culture. A mayor from Japan even wrote to her to explain that kimonos are not a fashion symbol but are a symbol of the “beauty, spirit, and values of the Japanese” people. Cultural globalization is likely to become an even more important phenomenon. Thus, choosing culturally appropriate and globally appealing names is also likely to become more important. 28. Which of the following is a guideline for culturally appropriate brand names? A. Simplicity in meaning and tone. B. Easy pronunciation across all languages. C. Reflecting the company’s home culture. D. Absence of negative meanings in target languages. 29. What does the term “foreign branding” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Cooperating with international companies. B. Selling products mainly in foreign markets. C. Using names from culturally admired regions. D. Translating brand names into foreign languages. 30. Why was the brand name “Kimono” changed? A. It lacked universal fashion appeal. B. It was targeted at the wrong consumers. C. It had negative meanings in some languages. D. It didn’t respect the cultural values of the source country. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise and Risks of Foreign Branding. B. Challenges in Cross-Cultural Brand Naming. C. Cultural Appropriation in Modern Business. D. The Impact of Cultural Globalization on Trade. D Though you don’t worry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy the human race, you might worry that its fearsome appetite for electricity will destroy the environment. Asking ChatGPT a question means using ten times more energy than an old-fashioned search inquiry. Google’s greenhouse-gas emissions rose by nearly half between 2019 and 2023, as the AI boom took off. With huge investments in new data centres, more rises seem baked in. But such concerns are misplaced. In absolute terms, AI may be less energy-hungry than people assume. Better still, AI can help de-carbonise the industries that have proved hardest to clean up. Consider AI’s appetite for energy first. The International Energy Agency expects that electricity consumption by data centres could triple in the next five years. Even if energy usage soars, though, the base is still low. Data centres today account for about 1.5% of the world’s electricity consumption — and the vast majority of that is due to streaming, social media and online shopping, not AI. Moreover, some of AI’s electricity use will help green the economy. AI excels at identifying complex patterns, processing giant data sets and optimising systems, all of which can help cut emissions. AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids (网格), cut fuel use in shipping and spot otherwise invisible leaks of methane, a greenhouse gas. The task is to maximise such benefits while minimising the climate impacts. The most elegant solution would be for governments to impose (强加) a proper price on carbon and leave the market to do its work. But because a global carbon price remains a distant dream, it is more realistic to focus on other measures. The first is to require AI developers to report their energy use in detail. Second, modernizing data centres to shift workloads between different data centres at different times could reduce pressure and help balance energy grids. Third, tech firms should keep their own environmental promises and apply their market power to fund clean energy projects. Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero. 32. What does the underlined phrase “baked in” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A. Impossible to avoid. B. Reasonable to adjust. C. Carefully calculated. D. Gradually decreasing. 33. What do we know about energy consumption from paragraph 2? A. AI’s absolute energy demand is relatively low. B. AI uses less energy than traditional industries. C. Data centres are becoming more energy-efficient. D. Data centres are to blame for the rise of energy use. 34. How does AI contribute to reducing emissions? A. By replacing fuel consumption with electricity. B. By detecting and removing greenhouse gas leaks. C. By improving systems and analyzing various data. D. By reducing the need for online streaming and shopping. 35. What does the author suggest as a practical solution to managing AI’s climate impact? A. Imposing a global carbon price. B. Developing more flexible data centres. C. Focusing on advanced market strategies. D. Reducing requirements for AI developers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Path To Empowerment: Strategies To Overcome Self-Doubt There are some people out there that mistake self-doubt for something else. Self-doubt is when you are unsure about one or more aspects of yourself. 36 It limits potential and kills your confidence levels. Here are some strategies that you can use to overcome self-doubt. Never Compare Yourself With Others Comparing yourself is an unhealthy act, and it gets in your way, ruining many chances. Why would you compare yourself with a family member, a friend, or even your colleague when each of your lives is different? You should focus on yourself and only your achievements. 37 Reflect Back To Your Past Achievements 38 Self-reflection is one of the best tools to remove self-doubt.

Never live in the past but learn to strive in the present! Always Be In The Company Of Supportive People “You are known by the company you keep”, is one of the best sayings to explain this strategy. We should be surrounded by people that support and love us, not people that constantly make us doubt ourselves. Being around negative people is very bad for our mental health. When you are in the company of good people, they will always encourage you to be better. 39 By embracing these strategies, you can gradually build confidence and overcome self-doubt. The journey to empowerment won’t be smooth, 40 Hang in there, give it some time and keep working at it. You can achieve your full potential. A. Self-doubt isn’t something you are born with. B.

She always cared about the latest clothes, expensive phones, and designer bags. Whenever someone showed off a new item, she’d feel jealous and immediately turn to her parents for something better. Having no idea how to deal with it, her parents had no choice but to satisfy her. With what she wanted on, peers would follow her, flattering (奉承) her from head to toe. Tina smiled, with a barely perceived sense of emptiness. At the beginning of the fall semester, Tina noticed a new face from another class. It’s Rita, who just transferred from a neighboring school. The girl was always alone, with simple clothes and an old schoolbag, but a smile hovered on her lips wherever she went. After school, Rita never got involved in classmates’ discussions about brands or luxuries. Instead, she herself spent most of her time in the classroom, studying or helping classmates with mathematics problems, or in the school library, doing voluntary jobs. One month later, Rita got straight As in a series of comprehensive tests and was awarded “the most popular student” in the school assembly. Her shining smile was brighter than ever, and young boys and girls began to gather around her. One afternoon, Tina walked up to Rita, who was sitting under a tree and reading a book.“Hi, Rita. I’m Tina. What makes you so happy every day? You didn’t even have any friends.” Tina poured out her puzzles. Rita looked up with a familiar smile, “I feel every single day fruitful. I feel happy just because I’m on the way of being the one I want to be. That’s the secret.” Something hit Tina at that very moment. She turned back and headed home, without saying anything, not even goodbye. That night, Tina lay in bed and stared at the ceiling, replaying Rita’s words in her mind and lost in deep thought. 注意： 1．续写词数总计为150词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Tina decided to make a change. Besides self-satisfaction, Tina received plenty of praise and recognition from others. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
